	LLLI \| Mastitis--Plugged Ducts and Breast Infections
		A woman who treats mastitis with antibiotics and does not see improvement within twenty-four hours may want to call her doctor and request that a culture be done on her breast milk and baby's mouth to check for the possibility of a yeast infection.
		In addition, Leaders should tell mothers with mastitis to check the baby's position at the breast making sure the baby is on his side with his whole body facing the mother so that he is able to grasp the nipple without having to turn his head.
		In addition, if a mother has mastitis that is being treated with an antibiotic, Leaders should encourage the mother to complete the full course and not discontinue the medication as soon as she begins to feel better.

	Clinical Mastitis - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Selection of an appropriate antibacterial for severe coliform mastitis depends primarily on the susceptibility of the organism to the selected drug and the ability to maintain effective concentrations at the primary pharmacologic target (which, in the case of coliform mastitis, is the plasma compartment of the cow).
		Mastitis due to A pyogenes is common among dry cows and heifers that are pastured during the summer months on fields and that have access to ponds or wet areas.
		A chronic, indurative mastitis similar to that caused by the tubercle bacillus has been reported to be caused by acid-fast Mycobacterium spp derived from the soil, such as M fortuitum, M smegmatis, M vaccae, and M phlei, when such organisms are introduced into the gland along with antibiotics (especially penicillin) in oil or ointment vehicles.

	Mastitis
		Mastitis is one of the three most significant health problems of the UK dairy herds, together with lameness and fertility problems (Kossaibati and Esselmont, 1997).
		Mastitis incidence and patterns were surveyed in 16 organic and 7 conventionally managed dairy herds in the south of England and Wales in 1997-1998 (Hovi and Roderick, 1999).

	Mastitis in Ewes and Does
		Mastitis is an inflamation of the mammary gland (udder).
		Ewes with sub-clinical mastitis usually appear quite healthy, but there is a reduction in their milk supply and development of lumps (scar tissue) in their udders, hence the name "hard bag." This is probably the most "serious" form of mastitis to the producer, since it often goes undetected.

	HEIFER MASTITIS
		However, recent investigations have identified significant problems with mastitis in unbred, and bred heifers with clinical flare-ups of mastitis occurring at calving time in infected heifers.
		The following is a guideline to help identify, treat and preferably prevent heifer mastitis from affecting animal health and profitability of the dairy enterprise.
		Treatment of heifers for mastitis** prior to calving is an extra-label use of the drugs and can only be used under supervision of the herd veterinarian within the context of a valid veterinary/client/patient relationship.

		Mastitis occurs when the udder becomes inflammed because leukocytes are released into the mammary gland in response to invasion of the teat canal, usually by bacteria.
		According to National Mastitis Council's Current Concepts of Bovine Mastitis, mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland in response to injury for the purpose of "destroying or neutralizing the infectious agents and to prepare the way for healing and return to normal function.

	STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS MASTITIS: Cause, Detection, and Control
		Mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria is extremely difficult to control by treatment alone.
		The most effective control is to prevent new infections by minimizing or eliminating conditions that contribute to the exposure of teat ends through spread of infections from cow to cow and conditions which allow bacteria to contaminate and penetrate the teat canal.
		However, any cow that has had clinical mastitis in the same quarter for three or more occasions, or any cow whose milk has been withheld from shipment for more than 28 days during the current lactation, should be considered for culling from the herd.
